Life begins at 70 for Mahin in this delicious cinematic confectionery from Iran that was a huge hit with critics and audiences at this year’s Berlinale.

Lovely Mahin (Lily Farhadpour) has lived alone in Tehran since her husband’s death and her daughter's departure for Europe. Throwing caution to the wind, she challenges accepted social practices despite the risk of unwelcome neighbourly interest and with the morality police on the prowl. Then one night, Mahin meets a taxi driver who is destined to change her life - what begins as an unexpected encounter quickly evolves into an unpredictable, unforgettable evening…

This magical, thought-provoking and understated yet subversive tale is an endearing portrait of a woman who tries for a second chance in life and love. We’re not surprised it has been eaten up by audiences all over the world, and we know you’ll fall for it here in Bristol too.
